It happened again!

They can't do anything!
They are so fricken disobedient right now I just wanna. . . . . .

Why can't they just do as they are told without questioning and begging and pleading?

Over an hour ago, I asked everyone to do their chores. DD7 has to fill and empty the dw. She came up once for her coloring pages and I told her no. When she was done she could color. Well, somehow she got passed me with them. And when I went downstairs the dw was empty but it was not being filled. She was coloring. I believe I let it slide once and figured she was caught so she'd keep at the chore. Well, no such luck. I hung THREE LOADS OF LAUNDRY! Then I headed down to start on supper - lasagna.

What do I find??? SHE'S COLORING AGAIN!!!!! SHE'S DONE NOTHING ON THE DISHWASHER!!!!!! At first I didn't get upset. I told her she was being disobedient to me and disobedient to God. But my angry started building and building. I started remembering all the infractions, all the complaints, all the outright disobedience from the day. I remembered doing things for them - like taking them to a play day I didn't wanna go to.

Then I found their ant jars in the house! I had specifically stated ALL ANTS STAY ON THE DECK OR OUTSIDE! I sent DD7 away with hers. IT TOOK HER FOREVER TO COME BACK! When she did come inside again she went to her room to do something else rather than return to the dw chore!!!!!!! I LOST IT!!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOST IT!

I started throwing dishes out of the dishwasher, on to the floor and into the sink! I started screaming and shouting at the top of my lungs at my five children. And in the midst of my tirade my 3yob decides to COLOR ALL OVER THE KITCHEN FLOOR!!!!!!!!! CAN HE NOT SEE HOW MAD MOMMY IS ALREADY!!?!?!?!?!??!

Dishes continue to fly while DD5 and DS3 get a wet cloth to clean up the boys' mess. I loaded the dw in less than 5 minutes and had it running.

I expect a lot of my children. I don't expect them to load the dw in under 5 minutes, but I expect it to take LESS THAN A FRICKEN HOUR!

At one point we expected first time obedience. You are asked, you say yes, mom and then you do as you were asked. I don't even notice anymore when they say no or just ignore my request. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME CHANGES!!!!!!

Not feeling like a very good mom right now. DD8 said she wanted to move away from me and I agreed; I didn't wanna be close to me either. I think I've cooled down some now; off to see if supper is burning on the stove.

Welcome to Our Wacky World!

Well, we would. There are a bunch of us. See all our names on the side? See that they are pseudo-names? Yeah, we don't want you to know who we really are in real life. But trust me.

We are moms. We are wives. We are friends. We are in numerous relationships.

We needed a safe place to vent, to say those things that we can't say to the faces of those we love or those we dislike.

We have strong opinions. And we want to share them. We don't want a lot of flack from those we KNOW who think their opinions are more important than OURS! We've been told to "be nice" on Facebook. We "hold back" on our own blogs for fear of hurting feelings. We don't want our parents to read what we really feel and think.

We wanna talk about sex, or the lack thereof. We need to talk about PoOp and puke. There are other feminine manners we would love to spout off about but can't in the "public" world of the internet. So here, where no one knows who we are, we can say WHATEVER WE WANT! An open slate. Whatever floats our boats.

Will we use language? Probably a little - see the title of the blog???
